WASHINGTON, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary consumer advocate Ralph Nader and constitutional lawyer and scholar Bruce Fein will convene the second in a series of watershed symposia on the urgency of impeaching and removing President Donald Trump to be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at the Senate Visitors Center, Room 201-00 in Washington, D.C.
The event will focus on criminal wars of aggression; murder; piracy; kidnapping; bribery; extortion; auctioning off pardons; refusing to faithfully execute the laws; abusing prosecutorial discretion to reward political friends or donors and to harass political opponents; employing government power to punish or silence critics; ruling by decree through bogus declarations of national emergencies; racist, xenophobic attacks on immigrants; and decapitating consumer welfare, health, safety, and environmental agencies.

Speakers include Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN), Richard Painter (Chief White House ethics lawyer under George W. Bush), Erwin Chemerinsky (Dean, UC Berkeley Law School), Celinda Lake (President, Lake Research Partners), Michael J.
